Mean Gene was an icon of the business, and arguably no WWE superstar had a more electric on-screen connection with Okerlund than Hulk Hogan. Okerlund and Hogan performed countless interviews over the decades, both in WWE and WCW.

On Monday, Hogan will return to Monday Night Raw for the first time since 2015 to honor Okerlund.

The best partner I ever had. We never rehearsed or did anything scripted from a writer. Gene would ask me “hey big man what do u want to do?” I would always answer “just follow you brother” and it worked from 1980 – 2017. RIP my brother HH pic.twitter.com/OBtn6NxT1E

Hogan has not appeared on weekly WWE programming in nearly four years, but was reinstated to the WWE Hall of Fame last July. WWE fired Hogan in 2015 after audio emerged of Hogan making racist statements. Hogan made his first return appearance last November at the Crown Jewel pay-per-view in Saudi Arabia.

Okerlund was inducted to the WWE Hall of Fame in 2006. Hogan was chosen to deliver Okerlund’s induction speech.
